Olathe Public Schools Reviews

The biggest issue of the school is teachers and the administration being closed minded and not open to change. We had a lot of racism and oppression in our school and it didn’t feel like anyone in power genuinely cared. Something I loved though is that our school district supported us plenty in activities. Almost all of nationals and state were paid for and they offer plenty of sports and clubs to be apart of!

Review Olathe Public Schools

I like how the schools are built and the overall layout. And most of the teachers are good/nice. Most student complaints are at least listened to. But not all are taken care of. I know many people who have gone to the grade level principal/“leader” but nothing was really done. Another thing is that the school district talks about not having much money, but the sports teams/clubs have so much new equipment or extra services that I (and many others) feel is unnecessary. The principal is nice and I am glad about that. I do feel like the pep assemblies are kind of useless since a “pep” assembly is supposed to be energetic and most, if not everyone is supposed to be having fun. But whenever you ask anyone about these assemblies, they will more often that not respond with something negative. Also the 21 century academy was kind of a let down. With my particular strand, I expected to be learning a lot of new things but most of the new things I learned was from Google/other tutorials.

Olathe has always been a safe place to live in as well as enjoy the city and rural zones. So when it came to schools, Olathe schools was the best district to go to. Olathe Schools District always seem to be adding advanced technology for the students to have the opportunity to learn the new technology of our world. Olathe Publics schools have always have many programs to help the students achieve there goal, such as English program for those Non-English speakers like me. Olathe Schools always made sure the student was first in learning before anything else, even when the student had a disadvantage or struggle to over come they were there to help.
